Newbiezones-----------As a new character, one needs to have areas in which to grow their character'sstrength. This is done by gaining points by killing mobiles and pittingitems, and avoiding things like dying and fleeing. While there are very fewareas in which a new runner can be totally safe (due to death rooms, traprooms, roving mobiles, among other things), there are a few that areconsiderably safer than others. A list of some of these areas (and directionson how to get there) follows:(All directions are from Temple of Freedom)Village zone e,s,eNewVillage zone e,s,7-wCemetery zone e,s,8-w,nKleth quest nRaider quest e,s,5-w,sExcalibur quest e,s,5-eShaman quest e,3-sClaymonster quest e,s,2-w,3-s*e=east; s=south; w=west; n=north*<number>-<direction> means go in that DIRECTION <number> times. (example: 7-w) means go WEST 7 times.As you get stronger, you can consider exploring other areas as well. Be sureto pick ones with low combat ratings (you can see a quest's ratings, a briefdescription, and a general location by typing QINFO <quest>).Also remember to pick your fights well; if you have a choice, EXAMINE acreature to see how strong it is in combat.A list of easy zones and quests follows.
